Firefox, though it takes a huge amount of RAM. Well over 150MB when browsing a couple of websites.



Really? Considering I'm on a Mac, does anybody know how Safari compares in regards to RAM?

Oli:

That's with Finder (obv.), Safari with 5 tabs, iTunes playing a tack, Messenger:Mac with 3 conversations.
So you do the maths, not a lot of RAM.

Thanks, Arien617. You wouldn't happen to have Firefox to compare to as well? I think to get a true comparison, you'd have to do it on the same computer right?

Hi all

I am using Safari now on my Vista Laptop and the Nokia Safari based browser on my E90. Safari does indeed IMO seem to be faster and the only site i have had trouble opening with it is MSN.Com and even then only on the desktop version.

I know many of you all seem to love Opera personally i just can't get on with it at all, neither the Desktop version or even Opera Mini 4 that i recently tried due to it's great reviews do it for me in the slightest n fact i would go as far as to say i hate them.

Marc

Firefox RULEZ for desktop web browser...

Opera mini 4 (and opera mini with downloads support) are the best browsers for my phone imo...
